1 Nā, tērā ētahi poropiti me ētahi kaiwhakaako i Anatioka, i te hāhi i reira, ko Pānapa, ko Himiona i huaina nei ko Nikera, ko Rukiu nō Hairini, ko Manaena, he mea whakatupu ngātahi nei rāua ko Herora tetaraki, me Haora. 2 Ā, i a rātou e karakia ana ki te Ariki, e nohopuku ana, ka mea te Wairua Tapu, "Motuhia mai ki ahau a Pānapa rāua ko Haora ki te mahi i karangatia ai rāua e ahau."

3 Nā, ka mutu tā rātou nohopuku me te īnoi, ā, ka popoki iho i ō rātou ringa ki a rāua ka tonoa atu rāua kia haere.

4 Nā, ka tonoa nei rāua e te Wairua Tapu, ka haere ki Herukia; ā, rere atu ana i reira ki Kaiperu. 5 Nā, i a rāua i Harami, ka kauwhautia e rāua te kupu a te Atua i roto i ngā whare karakia o ngā Hūrai. I a rāua anō a Hoani hei kaimahi.

6 Ā, nō tō rātou putanga i te motu katoa ki Papaho, ka kitea tētahi tangata mākutu, he poropiti teka, he Hūrai, ko Paraīhu te ingoa. 7 I te tino kāwana ia, i a Herekiu Pāora; he tangata mahara a Herekiu. Ā, karangatia ana e ia a Pānapa rāua ko Haora, ā, ka whai kia rongo i te kupu a te Atua. 8 Otirā, i tautohe ki a rāua a Erima te kaimākutu, ko te whakamāoritanga hoki tēnei o tōna ingoa, i mea kia tahuri kē te tino kāwana i te whakapono. 9 Otirā, ko Haora, e huaina nei anō ko Pāora, kī tonu i te Wairua Tapu, i whakamau i ōna kanohi ki a ia, 10 ā, i mea, "E te tangata kī tonu i te tinihanga, i ngā tini mahi pokanoa, e te tama a te rēwera, hoariri o ngā mahi tika katoa, e kore ianei e mutu tāu whakaputa kē i ngā ara tika a te Ariki? 11 Nanā, āianei pā ai te ringa o te Ariki ki a koe, ka matapōtia koe, e kore e kite i te rā ā taka noa tētahi wā."

Nā, taka tonu iho ki a ia he kohu, he pōuri; ā, hāereere noa ia ki te rapu kaiārahi mōna. 12 Ā, nō te kitenga o te tino kāwana i taua meatanga, ka whakapono ia, i mīharo hoki ki te ako a te Ariki.

13 Nā, ka rere atu a Pāora rātou ko ōna hoa i Papaho, ka ū ki Pereka i Pamapuria. Ā, whakarere ana a Hoani i a rāua, hoki ana ki Hiruhārama. 14 Ko rāua ia haere atu ana i Pereka, tae tonu atu ki Anatioka i Pihiria, ā, tomo ana ki te whare karakia i te rā hāpati, noho ana. 15 Ā, ka mutu te kōrerotanga o te ture, o ngā poropiti, ka tono tāngata ngā rangatira o te whare karakia ki a rāua, ka mea, "E hoa mā, ki te mea he kupu whakaako tā kōrua ki te hunga nei, kōrerotia."

16 Nā, ka tū a Pāora ki runga, ka tāwhiri tōna ringa, ka mea: "E ngā tāngata o Īharaira, e te hunga e wehi ana ki te Atua, whakarongo mai. 17 Nā te Atua o tēnei iwi, o Īharaira i whiriwhiri ō tātou mātua, ā, whakanuia ana e ia tēnei iwi, i a rātou e noho manene ana i te whenua o Īhipa, i runga tonu anō te ringa i ārahina mai ai rātou e ia i reira. 18 Nā, me te mea e whā tekau ngā tau i whakamanawanui ai ki tō rātou āhua i te koraha. 19 Ā, ka whitu ngā iwi ka ngaro i a ia i te whenua o Kanaana, ka hoatu e ia ki a rātou tō rātou whenua hei whenua pūmau, mō ngā tau me te mea e whā rau e rima tekau.

20 "Ā muri iho i ēnei mea, ka hoatu e ia ki a rātou he kaiwhakawā, taea noatia a Hamuera poropiti. 21 Ā muri iho ka tono rātou ki tētahi kīngi; ā, hoatu ana e te Atua ki a rātou a Haora, tama a Kihi, he tangata nō te pū o Pineamine, ā, e whā tekau ngā tau. 22 Ā, ka oti ia te whakataka, ka whakaarahia ake e ia a Rāwiri hei kīngi mō rātou; i whakaaturia hoki ia e ia, i kōrerotia, ‘Kua kitea e ahau a Rāwiri tama a Hehe, he tangata e whakaaetia ana e tōku ngākau; ka meatia e ia ngā mea katoa e pai ai ahau.’ 23 He uri nō tēnei tangata tā te Atua i hōmai ai ki a Īharaira, he Kaiwhakaora, ko Īhu, hei whakarite i te mea i kōrerotia ai i mua; 24 nō mua tata anō hoki i tōna haerenga mai te kauwhautanga a Hoani i te iriiri rīpenetā, ki te iwi katoa o Īharaira. 25 Ā, ka tutuki a Hoani ki tōna tutukitanga, ka mea ia, ‘Ko wai koia ahau ki tō koutou whakaaro? Ehara rā ahau i a ia. Engari, tērā te haere mai ana tētahi i muri i ahau, ko ōna hū e kore ahau e tau hei wewete.’

26 "E ōku tuākana, e ngā tama o te kāwei o Āperahama, e te hunga i roto i a koutou e wehi ana ki te Atua, kua hōmai te kupu o tēnei ora kia whakapuakina ki a tātou. 27 Nā, ko te hunga e noho ana Hiruhārama, me ō rātou rangatira, i te mea kīhai rātou i mōhio ki a ia, ki ngā reo rānei o ngā poropiti e kōrerotia ana i ngā hāpati katoa, nā rātou i whakarite aua reo, i a rātou i tuku i a ia ki te mate. 28 Ahakoa kīhai i kitea e rātou he mea e mate ai ia, ka tohe rātou ki a Pirato kia whakamatea ia. 29 Ā, nō ka rite i a rātou ngā mea katoa i tuhituhia mōna, tangohia iho ana ia i te rākau, whakatakotoria ana ki roto ki te urupā. 30 Heoi, nā te Atua ia i whakaara ake i te hunga mate. 31 Ā, he maha ngā rā i kitea ai ia e te hunga i haere tahi i a ia i Karirī ki Hiruhārama, ko rātou nei ngā kaiwhakaatu mōna ki te iwi.

32 "Nā, he kauwhau tēnei nā māua ki a koutou i te rongopai, i kōrerotia i mua ki ngā mātua, 33 arā, kua mana tēnei i te Atua, hei mea mā ā tātou tamariki, i a ia whakaara nei i a Īhu; ko te mea hoki tēnā i tuhituhia i te rua o ngā waiata:

‘Ko tāku Tama koe;

nō nāianei koe whakatupuria ai e ahau.’

34 Ko tāna kōrero anō tēnei mōna whakaarahia nei e ia i te hunga mate, tē hoki anō ki te pirau i muri iho:

‘Ka hoatu e ahau ki a koutou ngā mea tapu,

ngā manaakitanga pono o Rāwiri.’

35 Koia hoki ia i mea ai i tētahi atu waiata,

‘E kore koe e tuku i tāu Mea Tapu kia kite i te pirau.’

36 "Ko Rāwiri hoki i mahi i tā te Atua i pai ai i tōna whakatupuranga anō, ā, moe iho, whakatakotoria ana ki ōna mātua, kite ana i te pirau. 37 Ko tēnei ia i whakaarahia ake nei e te Atua, kīhai ia i kite i te pirau.

38 "Nā, kia mōhio koutou, e ōku tuākana, nā tēnei tangata te murunga hara e kauwhautia nei ki a koutou; 39 māna hoki ngā tāngata katoa e whakapono ana, ka whakatikaia ai i ngā mea katoa, e kore nei koutou e whakatikaia i runga i tā Mohi ture. 40 Nā, kia mahara, kei pā ki a koutou te mea i kōrerotia rā e ngā poropiti:

41 ‘Titiro mai, e te hunga whakahāwea,

ka mīharo ai, ā, whakangaromia iho!

Ka mahia hoki e ahau he mahi i ō koutou rā,

he mahi e kore e whakaponohia e koutou,

ki te whakapuakina e te tangata ki a koutou!’ "

42 Nā, i a rātou e puta ana ki waho, ka tohe rātou kia kauwhautia anō aua kupu ki a rātou i tō muri iho hāpati. 43 Heoi, ka pākarukaru te huihui, he tokomaha ngā Hūrai me ngā porohiraiti karakia i aru i a Pāora rāua ko Pānapa; ā, ka kōrero rāua ki a rātou, ka ako kia mau tonu rātou ki te aroha noa o te Atua.

44 Nā, i tō muri iho hāpati ka huihui mai te pā, me te mea ko rātou katoa, ki te whakarongo ki te kupu a te Atua. 45 Nō te kitenga ia o ngā Hūrai i te huihui, ka kī rātou i te hae, ka whakakāhore ki ngā mea i kōrerotia e Pāora, ka whakateka, ka kohukohu.

46 Kātahi a Pāora rāua ko Pānapa ka kōrero māia atu, ka mea: "I takoto te tikanga kia mātua kōrerotia te kupu a te Atua ki a koutou. Nā, ka peia nei e koutou, ka whakaaro koutou e kore koutou e tau mō te ora tonu, nā, ka tahuri atu nei māua ki ngā tauiwi. 47 I pēnei hoki te ako a te Ariki ki a mātou:

‘Kua waiho koe e ahau hei mārama ki ngā tauiwi,

kia ai koe hei oranga puta noa i ngā pito o te whenua.’ "

48 Nā, i te rongonga o ngā tauiwi, ka hari, ka whakakorōria i te kupu a te Ariki; ka whakapono anō te hunga i rite mō te ora tonu.

49 Ā, pakū ana te kupu a te Ariki puta noa i taua whenua. 50 Otirā, i whakaohokia e ngā Hūrai ngā wāhine karakia, rangatira, me ngā tāngata nunui o te pā, ā, ara ana i a rātou he whakatoi mō Pāora rāua ko Pānapa, peia ana rāua i ō rātou wāhi. 51 Heoi, ruia atu ana e rāua te puehu o ō rāua waewae ki a rātou, ā, haere ana ki Ikoniuma. 52 Nā, kī tonu ngā ākonga i te hari, i te Wairua Tapu.
